If you are looking for the best 'non-traditional' school, one that really knows how to get kids to love school and love learning, PSCS is it! My son attended public school most of his life and I never saw any passion to learn like I have at PSCS. He is becoming a very mature, confident teenager who has focus on his path in life. The director and staff are amazing people who actually 'LOVE' teaching and enjoy touching the lives of children which is severely lacking in our public schools today. There is true sense of the word 'community' among the students which is such a great advantage as they move on into the real world. For anyone who is considering sending their child to this school, I recommend reading one of Alfie Kohn's books which explains the philosophy of PSCS which will explain the numerous advantages of a 'progressive education'.
My son began attending here after 9 years in the public school system. My decision to enroll him in PSCS came after watching his self-confidence erode as a result of the poor school culture he experienced at his junior high school, and watching his attitude toward learning become negative and cynical. But PSCS was the cure! Never have I seen him so excited about learning and actually WANT to go to school! His self-confidence and maturity have soared, as well. THIS is the educational model that kids need. I cannot say enough great things about PSCS. I only wish there were more schools like this!
PSCS is an innovative, cutting edge school that is preparing students to become leaders who can make a difference in our ever changing world. It is a unique and rare oasis in an educational desert which support kids to be fully and express who they are. My son loves it and is thriving there.
Puget Sound Community School is both a school FOR the community and a school that operates as a community. The student-centered and student-driven curriculum is emergent, pertinent and promotes lifelong interest in learning. Students can learn at their own pace while experiencing the reality of fully engaging with their peers and the staff. Out of building learning is highly valued. The teaching staff are superb. Her two years at PSCS prepared our daughter for her next step on her educational path.
